For annoying minor burns apply neat to the area. It is ideal for sun burn and can be included in an after sun treatment by adding a drop or two to your moisturising cream or to some aloe vera gel and applying liberally. You could also use lavender floral water as a beautiful way to refresh the skin in hot weather. To use as an antiseptic mouth wash, add a drop or two to a cup of water, and disperse by stirring vigorously and use immediately - do not swallow. This can also be used for halitosis, & mouth ulcers. For any throat problems such as tonsillitis, infections, laryngitis, use in the same preparation, but gargle for as long as possible before spitting out. Lavender is antifungal and so is great for thrush. Use as a gargle for oral thrush and for vaginal thrush put a drop or two on your knickers, or a panty pad - this is much less invasive than the pessaries currently on the market. You can apply neat using a cotton wool pad to fungal toenail infections or in a foot bath or cream for athletes foot. A drop or two on the pillow at night can help with sleeping issues. It can be helpful for calming headaches in some people, just place a drop on fingertips and apply to temples. Lavender used as a herb is great for stress, insomnia and restlessness. It is blood cleansing and very supportive of the lymphatics. It has a cleansing effect on things that inhibit us.
